2013 Volkswagen UP 1.0L Petrol · FD63 AON

The most recent MOT on 27 November 2025 recorded a pass at 55,046 miles, but the tester flagged slight damage and cracking on all four tyres. The vehicle remains roadworthy, yet the recurring tyre advisories indicate a modest deterioration in tyre condition while the remainder of the mechanical record shows no new defects. The trend is stable overall, with wear confined to consumables rather than structural components. Across thirteen years the odometer shows an average of roughly 4,200 miles per annum, rising from 33,811 miles in December 2016 to the current 55,046 miles. No abrupt mileage jumps appear; each annual test reflects a gradual increase of 1,500–2,000 miles, suggesting light to moderate use. The low‑mileage profile aligns with the absence of major wear‑related advisories in the MOT history. A prospective buyer should give the tyres immediate attention, probing for surface cracks, sidewall bulges, and tread depth to confirm the tester’s observations. Verify that the nearside windscreen wiper now clears effectively, as a failure was recorded in November 2022. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or uneven wear, and confirm the integrity of the adult seatbelt once the rear child seat is removed. A visual check for rust on the chassis and undercarriage will round out the assessment, ensuring no hidden structural issues have been missed.
